Swim Gala Results
On Sunday 24th November we had our third Swim Gala of the year with the participation of 15 children and 12 families for the family relay race competition. This was an event where our young swimmers experienced competitive swimming in the Club. During the Junior Swim Gala our youngest swimmers from beginners/improvers and squads swam one length race in each of the four strokes (Front Crawl, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly) in a fun, friendly yet competitive environment. Swimmers were ranked by age where the times of all strokes add up to a final classification. Congratulations to every participant for their performances, below are the results:
